Weirdest Thing...
I just got a sliver on my tongue from a dried spice (either thyme, basil or oregano...). I'm almost 40 and have never experienced this. Has anyone had this happen before? It's very uncomfortable, feels like glass when I swallow or move my tongue. lol I've tried to brush my tongue, but I guess it won't leave until it's…

Spaghetti squash
I bought a spaghetti squash last night. And an acorn squash. And now I don't know what to do with them. I kind of don't want to use spaghetti sauce, because I have a feeling it's not really going to taste like spaghetti, so I'd rather try a different sauce or something so it's not like "Oh, yeah, this is an ok substitute…

Paleo household victory!

Then she asks me for a cup of my special coffee. No problem again.... Then she said you better go get some more of the butter. This coffee is…

Whole 30 for August
I am strongly considering doing the Whole 30 during the month of August. I need to try and cleanup the "cheats" that seem to sneak their way into my diet. And, as an added bonus perhaps I'll make some progress in losing some of the left over "baby weight" that I've been carrying for 10 yrs. Anyone intested in joining me?

Any weird allergic reactions?
Hope this isn't gross or anything.... For about a week, I've noticed I have been getting allergic reaction rashes to things I have worn or used before. Like right now, I'm wearing one of my favorite necklaces, and a spot where the chain touches my neck is pink and a little itchy...but it's touching my skin in other spots…

Non-Paleo/Primal Partner
Hey Guys, this may have been posted in the past, but I didnt bother looking past page 11 :) Does anyone out there have a non paleo/primal partner? How do you manage both lifestyles? I'm struggling with self control. I make my boyfriend rice and I eat it. Or toast with PB on it and I TAKE LIKE TWO BITES!! Is this just an…

New to Paleo/Primal
How do you know if you are eating too many calories? I'm afraid I'll be eating too much. Any advice to someone starting this lifestyle?

Paleo and kids?
I know there's the Paleo Kids blog and the "Eat Like a Dinosaur" book and all that, so I know it's not a difficult thing for a parent to move their kids toward a paleo diet. I'm just wondering, who here has done it? Any tips? My son (4 years) has chronic allergies and some behavioral problems, and we've already seen a vast…

Yeah - new habits
So my morning didn't go as planned, and I ran out of time to make myself breakfast. I considered grabbing a cooked chicken breast to chow in the car, but decided against it, figuring it would be an IF morning. But, by the time I finished dropping kids at camp, I was pretty hungry. The old me would have stopped at…

Addiction
has anyone noticed that their food addiction (if they had one) is now being replaced with an addiction to this site and talking and reading about their health? I feel like I am spending way too much time using this site as opposed to REALLY getting healthy! More time then I even spent eating is spent on my computer now,…

"What about quinoa??"
I've been asked this like seven times in the past week. Quinoa actually makes me feel sicker than most grains. I have a grain sensitivity and that is why I was drawn to this plan in the first place. Do you guys get asked about quinoa all the time or do I just know too many hippies? :)

Fresh roasted green chilies... Help!
Hi friends, I got fresh roasted green chilies from my farm share today. Still warm... Right from roaster! I'm used to eating them in quesadillas, enchiladas... Obviously not Paleo. I have some ground mild pork sausage thawed. I guess I could make patties and put chilies on top. I'll use some for an egg dish of some sort in…

I need your help with cutting out dairy
Hi everyone. I just want to say I have been reading here and trying to get in step with paleo/primal for over a month now and how very very helpful this group is. Thank you! I have gotten rid of grains and sugar and now I am working on dairy. Only becuase I have alot of sinus drainage and am hoping that will help. However…

Hello
Hello to all of you in this group. I am not sure if this is how I will eat forever but I do have a diet that is somewhat restrictive because of food allergy/sensitivities. This has forced me to significantly change how I eat. It most closely resembles the paleo I believe. I do not do dairy, gluten and several other grains,…

"Accidental" Intermittant Fasting?
I've never been keen on the idea of doing IF as a sort of everyday thing (I've never been the type that could wake up on a regular basis and not have something for breakfast), but since going Primal, I've found that some days, I'm simply not that hungry right when I get up. In a sense, I've sort of "accidentally" done the…

Took the crossfit plunge
3 years ago I met a trainer that was a professional crossfitter and talked about eating paleo. I thought she was nuts but was intrigued. A year ago I tried a groupon for crossfit but only did 4 sessions and my shoulder pain was so bad I would take a cooler with me with ice packs so I could immediately ice after the…

*sigh* (I'm feeling ranty)
I'm generally a "to each their own" kind of person, but it really irks me when a thread says something along the lines of "help! I can't lose weight, what am I doing wrong?" and their diet is pretty good by SAD standards, and when someone mentions cutting out grains (they don't even have to go all the way to paleo/primal),…

when will I ever learn?
It amazes me how the Paole haters come out of the wood work, anytime, anything remotely suggestive of paleo is mentioned. BBBBBB but they only live to the age of 30. Good grief. And this one is bringing out the China study, what a fool. Got to love those veggies with an agenda.

Whats your favorite paleo website or book for recipes
Wow, there are some amazing paleo/primal websites out there. But I'm drowning in info. Im still trying to make sense of what paleo is. I really need one good website for recipes, and preferably something I can look on my smart phone while I am shopping. And I'd like to buy a book, or two, maybe used on Amazon too. Please…

Any problems with back pain?
My boyfriend and I are on day 3 of the primal blueprint. For the past few hours, he has noticed an increase in lower back pain. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm becoming concerned, because it seems to be as bad as a kidney stone painwise. Thanks :)

Wow, I'm feeling awesome. I've felt like garbage for a few months (since I went back to eating stupid "food") and after just a few days I feel like superwoman. Oh, the energy! No cravings! I love this site, especially the tracker! Happy to see that there are many like-minded people, though I might have to stick to just…
